'Wooloomooloo Bay, Sydney', 1852

Description

This is a pen-and-wash drawing by George French Angas (1822-86) of Woolloomooloo Bay, Sydney, dated 16 December 1852 (the title uses an alternative spelling). Looking north-east across Sydney Harbour towards the Heads, it is a scene only lightly touched by humans, with some wharf buildings in the middle ground, three dinghies moored nearby, and a small craft sailing out of the bay. A male figure reclines near some rocky steps in the foreground.
